Indian education formula grants to leas

Red Lake Public Schools received a Formula Grant award of $327,952.00 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies program (CFDA 84.060) for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The grant supports comprehensive educational programs designed to address the unique cultural, language, and academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students at the school district, which serves the Red Lake Reservation with a predominantly Native American student population.

The funding supports a range of educational services and activities tailored to the academic and cultural needs of Native American students, including academic instruction, cultural programming, teacher professional development, and targeted student support services. The award enables Red Lake Public Schools to deliver high-quality, culturally responsive K-12 educational programming that supports student achievement in reading and math while preserving cultural heritage. As a local educational agency meeting program eligibility requirements, the district may allocate up to 5 percent of grant funds to administrative costs, with the remainder directed toward direct educational services and student support programming.
